15toGo - An ambitious project to help film makers.
<h2><em><strong>A message from Steffan:</strong></em></h2> <p>Hi and thank you for your interest in helping us build a platform upon which new and independent film makers can distribute their work and gain exposure with a financial gain.</p> <h3><strong>About me</strong></h3> <p><span>I am an entrepreneur, airline pilot and flight instructor with a degree in film production and a passion for writing.</span></p> <p><span>Gaining experience in club promoting, film making, architecture, the aviation industry, web design and business, I have a varied history and skill set. My creativity and writing is derived from my experience and a strong (and often silly) sense of humour. All said, my family is the most important aspect of my life.</span></p> <p>You can follow me <a title="Steffan Lewis on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/SteffanGLewis" target="_blank">@steffanglewis</a> on twitter.</p> <p><span>I have been branded a workaholic serial entrepreneur, but I prefer to call myself a creative inventor (who happens to fly aeroplanes). I'm proud to be someone who has ideas. Some big ideas, some small ideas. </span></p> <p><span>Turning ideas into a reality is possibly one of the biggest challenges anyone can face.</span></p> <p>But I believe that the task becomes feasible if it is shared with people who believe in its potential. That is why, in my opinion, <a href="../">Indiegogo</a> is such a brilliant way of making ideas of all sizes happen.</p> <p><span>We are living in a particularly bad time to start businesses based on big ideas or otherwise. So, in the spirit of Indiegogo and the people who support ventures on Indiegogo, I have decided to try to make a big difference.</span></p> <p><span>Now, partly as a result of the recession, my idea revolves around creating both employment opportunities and business opportunities for as many people as possible.</span></p> <p><a href="http://15togo.com">15toGo.com</a> is my most ambitious project yet.</p> <h3><strong>Everything starts with an idea</strong></h3> <p>I have created an Idiegogo account for <a href="http://15togo.com">15toGo</a> in order to achieve a specific goal that's far bigger than my limited resources will allow for.</p> <p><span>Obviously I believe that my ideas are all good enough to take to the next level. The great thing about Indiegogo is that it is not just my opinion that counts. It is all about group participation. An idea will float if enough people agree and support it. An idea will sink if people are not convinced about it.</span></p> <p><span>Indiegogo is about survival of the ideas with the most potential.</span></p> <p>I sincerely hope that <a href="http://15togo.com">15toGo</a> is an idea that's worthy enough to float but it's really up to people to agree.</p> <p><span>So this is why I have described my unique ideas in some detail, despite the risk that they could be copied.</span></p> <p><span>But I believe that if enough people do support my project, then the loyalty of the supporters will be enough to overcome the problem of copy cat businesses.</span></p> <h3><strong>My pledge</strong></h3> <p><span>If you appreciate my vision, then please support it and make a pledge and help us spread the word <em>everywhere</em>! </span></p> <p><span>We need maximum exposure if this is going to work!</span></p> <p><span>I will reward your support and loyalty with much more than the perks that are available on Indiegogo. - The investment required will be massive and campaigning will be ongoing. But I promise that I will produce an amazing system that will strive to support many creative aspirations of film makers and creative people from every background. As audacious as it sounds, I promise to make a real difference to the media industry and create opportunities that will be a great benefit to our talents of the future.</span></p> <p><span>It may also mean that the world may never have to watch another repeat on TV again - now that <em>has</em> to be worth at least a small pledge!</span></p> <p>You can follow <a title="15toGoFilms on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/15ToGoFilms" target="_blank">@15toGoFilms</a> on twitter or visit <a title="Visit the 15toGo.com blog" href="http://15togo.com/blog/" target="_blank">15toGo.com</a> website where you will find updates and follow our continued progress.
